Reviews

“From foundation design to construction, Clarke has been a pleasure to work with. Engineer Allister Pirie and his weather-proof team of professionals has delivered a magnificent 140 sqm ‘floating’ concrete floor, billard table level and ready for brickwork. Their support has been on-time and on budget. Every home-builder needs a team like Clarke to get their foundations right” J Tacon
